The Fine Print

- Unlimited use
Our Verdict
The standard deal at Kroger is 2x fuel points on gift card purchases, and they’ll occasionally release offers like this one to get 4x fuel points. All third-party should work with the first coupon, and the second coupon will cover fixed-value Visa/MC gift cards. Kroger gift cards or variable-load Visa/MC gift cards won’t earn fuel points.
An interesting angle here is that the general gift card coupon typically covers fixed-value Visa/MC gift cards. There’s a chance that someone who has both coupons will actually earn 8x fuel points (a similar thing has happened in the past). Let us know if you try.
Usually, every 1000 fuel points will get you a discount of $1 per gallon with a 35-gallon limit, a max value of $35 per 1000-points. (These details do vary by store and region.) If you buy $250 in gift cards and max out the 35-gallons, it’ll end up a 14% discount on the gift cards.
You can also get free cell phone service with Kroger when you earn fuel rewards points.

I’ve had luck in the past with getting 6x (4x plus the usual 2x) using the ‘red’ digital coupon on a $100 MC GC, but this time it was no dice… just the ‘normal’ 2x. The receipt did indicate the coupon was present but the points didn’t populate. (My store is a Kroger)
I didn’t have the green coupon this time (mobile app or PC), although I’ve had it before.
The 4x for MC/V GCs seem to be YMMV, since I’ve had various results even at the same store.
Also notable/ironic is that my store used to have a sign that MC/V GCs did not quality for the 4x, although at the time I was getting it (sometimes even 6x); now the sign is gone but the 4x no longer is working.
Just got 8x on $100 Visa GC’s.
Out of curiosity… which Kroger subsidiaries you went to? 🙂
Question, I can’t find the green coupon either on APP or the link you provided, only the red one
A couple of readers mentioned it’s on the app, I don’t know.
Same. I do not see the green coupon in the King Soopers App.
There’s been a deal for 4X on restaurants and entertainment, but it ends tomorrow. Glad to see a new one for everything else.
Yep, got a few restaurant cards at 4xs points this past weekend while on travel to obtain Kroger fuel for my rental car fillup. I returned the car this AM. I used Amex Preferred for 6% CB.
Too bad I only got $1.99 per gallon but it was better than any other gas outlet I could find. Still grateful.
Now looking for the Office Depot deal for my next challenge.
Note that in my Kroger ap, there is a separate coupon to get the 4x fuel points on Mastercard or Visa which must be loaded on the card. (the “4X” is colored green for that one instead of red)
Interesting, in the past things like this have stacked and resulted in 8x. Are the dates aligned? I don’t see the offer at the above link.
This is the second or third time they have separate coupons like this. It never stacked for me once.
Has definitely worked in the past.
Just bought 1 $100 VGC.
The receipt displayed 2 e-coupon code (4xWKD10 & 4xWKDMV). Only received 400 fuel point.
